Hong Kong 50cents coin ring Coin Transformation

｜Coin Information｜ The Hong Kong government first minted the half-dollar coin in 1866, which contained 90% silver. From 1890 onwards, the silver content was reduced to 80%. In 1905, the Hong Kong government ceased the production of the half-dollar coin. In 1951, the Hong Kong government reintroduced the fifty cents coin, but it was minted using a cupronickel alloy, with the coin's color remaining silver. One side of the coin featured the portrait of King George VI, who was reigning at that time (only the 1951 fifty cents coin had the portrait of King George VI), and the other side displayed the denomination "Hong Kong Fifty Cents." Starting from 1958, the fifty cents coin was minted with the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. In 1971, the fifty cents coin transitioned from a plain edge to a milled edge for security purposes. In 1977, the coin's composition changed to a brass-nickel alloy, marking the end of the "silver colour fifty cents era." This information is referenced from the Hong Kong Currency Catalog (2004). ｜Product Details｜ Coin year will be drawn randomly from 1951 to 1975 Color: polished (original colour)/ vintage (black coating) *In vintage style, black coating will be applied to the surface of the coin to make the details more prominent, and the material will gradually fade according to the usage rate ｜Package｜ Products will be packed in a flannel bag ｜Care Tips｜ • Remove before entering water • Always protect your jewellery from scratch, chemicals, and extreme temperatures • Avoid exposure to liquids and cosmetics • Store in a dry and clean place • Clean with silver polishing cloth
